Definitions

  • Embodiments described herein relate generally to a communication control device, a server, a communication system, and a computer readable medium.
  • Some communication control devices of related art allow remote control of in-home devices from external devices, but cannot perform real-time remote control when in-home devices cannot be accessed by external devices. Furthermore, although there is a method for allowing real-time remote control even when in-home devices cannot be accessed by external devices and avoiding factors of disconnection such as timeout of a proxy server that are explicitly notified, there is no method for avoiding factors of disconnection that are not explicitly notified.
  • the factors of disconnection that are explicitly notified refer to factors of disconnection for which there is an explicit notification of disconnection due to timeout or the like. On the other hand, the factors of disconnection that are not explicitly notified refer to factors of disconnection for which there is no explicit notification of disconnection due to timeout or the like. Examples of the factors of disconnection that are not explicitly notified include an NAT timeout, a firewall timeout, and a PPPoE timeout.

  • the polling is not real time and the direct access may not be used depending on the network environment such as multiple NAT.
  • the polling and the direct access are more preferable than the connection method used by the first connecting unit 10 in some cases because the load on the server 100 can be kept light by sacrificing the real-time property in the polling or by establishing a connection from the server 100 as necessary when a remote control command is issued or in like cases in the direct access.
  • connection methods may be performed based on an instruction received by the change instruction receiving unit 13 from the server 100 that has detected an increase in the load by receiving, for example, packets from the connection maintaining unit 11 at a predetermined frequency or higher.
  • the connection method may be switched from that used by the second connecting unit 14 to that used by the first connecting unit 10 .
  • the disconnection detector 12 detects a stoppage state.
